I dunno, I keep hearing about the "lack of a proper career mode," but then, what is a proper career mode? It has all of the races, and you still have to buy the cars and tune them, that, in my mind is a career mode. Maybe it lacks some of the frivolous extras that the other GT modes had, but in my mind, it sounds like a career mode with less menus. And in my mind, that's A-OK.
